Kevin Durant-Oklahoma City Thunder (9,900): Durant had a huge game for my FanDuel daily picks yesterday with 61.5 fantasy points on 30 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks, and two steals against the Nuggets.  Tonight, he’ll return home as the Thunder host the Hornets. Durant had a similar line to last night’s when he last faced Charlotte going for 29 points and 11 rebounds while adding four blocks and a pair of assists.  He is one of the most reliable stars on the board and consistently goes for 20+ points and 10+ rebounds.  He has at least 41 fantasy points in each of his last nine games and at least 49.5 fantasy points in five of those nine contests. ∗∗∗∗

Carmelo Anthony-New York Knicks (8,300): After missing two games with an injury, ‘Melo returned to play a massive 49 minutes on Monday finishing with 19 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists on his way to 39.75 fantasy points. In each of his last four full games before the injury, he had at least 40 fantasy points and he should be able to get back to that level once he’s 100% and I think that could easily start tonight against the visiting Jazz.  ∗∗∗∗

Rudy Gay-Sacramento Kings (6,800): Gay had 35.75 fantasy points a week ago Thursday when the Kings faced the Lakers and has at least that level of production in four of his last six games.  He has scored at least 18 points five of his last six games, and has been contributing solid rebound and steals numbers.  In a good matchup against LA again tonight, he should be ready for a solid game tonight as the Kings come off their long holiday weekend. ∗∗∗∗

Jae Crowder-Boston Celtics (6,700): Crowder was downright awful against his former team on Monday when many of us thought he’d be ready for revenge.  He did get something in the second half but still only managed 24.25 fantasy points after putting up at least 33 in three of his previous four games.  He should be ready to bounce back tonight against the Raptors who are still without DeMarre Carroll. ∗∗

Tobias Harris-Orlando Magic (6,100): Harris only scored six points in another weak scoring effort on Monday in Atlanta, but he had 26 fantasy points since he contributed four boards, four assists, and four steals.  He has at least that many fantasy points in three of his last four games including a very nice 16-point, 11-rebound double-double in London.  Tonight, he faces the 76ers who allow the second-most fantasy points to opposing SF, so he should be able to put together a solid balanced line and is a nice mid-range play. ∗∗∗
